About Our Sheet Metal Welder in Manchester
Sheet Metal Welder Manchester is a practical, down-to-earth service built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to transport heavy or fixed sheet metalwork across town to get it repaired. I turn up, set up safely, and weld it where it stands—driveway, yard, workshop, site, or back garden.
Over the years I’ve worked on everything from small domestic sheet metal jobs (gates, railings, panels, brackets) through to site welding for armoured vehicles and light industrial repairs. I’m familiar with tight access, busy streets, awkward angles and “can you just make it work” situations. If there’s a sensible solution, I’ll find it and explain it clearly.
Customers often tell me they appreciate dealing directly with the person actually doing the job. No call centres, no confusing handovers—just straightforward advice, fair pricing, and tidy work.
What Is Mobile Welding in Manchester?
Mobile welding is exactly what it sounds like: the welder comes to you. I bring the welder, tools, leads, consumables, and (when required) a generator—so the job can be completed on-site. It’s the ideal choice when the sheet metalwork is too large, too heavy, bolted in place, or simply inconvenient to transport.
In Manchester, many call-outs are time-sensitive: a damaged armoured vehicle panel, a gate that won’t shut, a railing that’s unsafe, or sheet metal that needs joining before the build can progress. With on-site welding, you cut out the delays and keep things moving.
- ✓ Welding at homes, workshops, yards and building sites
- ✓ MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) available depending on the job
- ✓ Great for fixed or heavy sheet metal items that can’t be moved
- ✓ Saves time and recovery costs vs taking it to a fabrication shop
- ✓ Local mobile sheet metal welder covering Manchester & Greater Manchester
- ✓ Useful for repairs, reinforcement, modifications and new brackets
If you’re unsure whether something can be repaired or needs replacing, send a photo. I’ll give you a realistic answer—because the safest option is always the right option.

Why Mobile Welding Matters for Manchester Customers
Taking sheet metalwork to a workshop sounds simple—until you’re dealing with a heavy armoured vehicle panel, a fixed railing, a steel beam already installed, or a trailer that can’t be towed safely. Mobile sheet metal welding in Manchester saves you the headache by fixing it where it sits.
That means less downtime, fewer recovery costs, and faster repairs. For builders, it helps keep schedules on track. For homeowners, it means you can secure your property quickly. For businesses, it means equipment gets back into service without unnecessary delay.
On-site welding keeps projects moving—no waiting for transport, no workshop queues, no extra handling.
Repairing on location can save on lifting gear, removal labour, and recovery vehicles—especially for bulky sheet metal items.
Evenings and weekends can be arranged when possible, which is ideal for busy trades and working households.
Seeing the job in place often allows a smarter fix—adding a reinforcing plate or changing the bracket design to stop it failing again.

Your Mobile Welding Job at a Glance
How Long Do Mobile Sheet Metal Welding Jobs Take?
Time on site depends on access, preparation and the condition of the sheet metal. A clean crack on solid steel sheet is usually quicker than rusty, thin, contaminated metal that needs careful prep. Here are typical time ranges for mobile sheet metal welding in Manchester.
Small Repairs
Minor cracks, brackets, hinges and small sheet metal parts can often be repaired within an hour once set-up is done.
Medium Structural & Gate Work
Gates, railings, posts, plates and small beam work commonly takes a few hours including grinding and dressing.
Larger Site & Industrial Work
Multiple welds, heavier sheet metal, awkward access or repeated repairs may need a half day or full day on site.

How Mobile Sheet Metal Welding Jobs Are Carried Out Safely

I use proper PPE, keep a fire extinguisher close, and manage cables and leads carefully. If conditions aren’t safe (for example, strong wind and rain outdoors), I’ll tell you honestly and rearrange or find an alternative.

I cover Manchester and most of Greater Manchester including Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Bolton and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure, call and I’ll confirm.
3. Can you do armoured vehicle and structural sheet metal welding?
Yes. I regularly weld panels, beams, posts and connection plates on refurbishments and extensions, ideally following engineer details where provided.
4. Do you offer emergency or same-day welding?
Sometimes, yes (depending on the diary). Call 07700176109 with photos and your postcode and I’ll tell you the earliest realistic slot.
5. What metals can you weld?
Most commonly mild/structural steel sheet metal. Stainless and aluminium may be possible depending on the job, access and conditions—send a photo and I’ll advise.
6. Do I need to provide power?
Power on-site helps, but it’s not always required. If needed, I can bring a generator—just tell me what’s available.
7. Can you weld outdoors?
Yes, as long as conditions are safe. Heavy rain or strong wind can affect quality and safety—if weather is bad we’ll rearrange.
8. Can you quote from photos?
Photos are the quickest way to get a guide price. Final cost can depend on what the metal is like once I’m on-site (rust/thickness/access).
9. Do you supply plates and brackets?
Yes—small plates, flat bar and brackets can often be supplied as part of the repair. Larger steel may need ordering in advance.
10. Can you weld vehicle chassis for MOT?
Sometimes, if it’s suitable and safe. I’ll inspect first and may decline if corrosion is extensive or if it’s not a safe repair.
11. How do I prepare for your visit?
Clear the area, move flammables, and ensure there’s space to park nearby. If it’s in a back garden or tight access, tell me in advance.
12. How long will you be on site?
Small repairs can be under an hour. Gate/structural work often takes 2–4 hours. Larger site jobs can be half day or full day.
13. Do you work evenings or weekends?
Often yes, by arrangement. Out-of-hours slots can carry a small premium depending on the job and travel.
14. Are you insured?
Yes, public liability insurance is in place for mobile welding work. Details can be provided on request.
15. Will sparks damage paintwork or glass?
Sparks can mark surfaces. I protect the area, but I always recommend moving vehicles and valuables where possible before welding starts.
16. Can you paint after welding?
Basic priming/paint can be added as an optional extra. Many customers prefer to paint later once everything is fully cooled and cleaned.
17. Do you issue paperwork for structural work?
I can confirm what welding was carried out, but structural sign-off is always the responsibility of your engineer/building control.
18. What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer is preferred. Payment is normally due once the job is completed and you’re happy with the work.
19. Can you quote in person first?
Many jobs can be priced from photos. For larger or complicated work, a short site visit can be arranged.
